In Episode 35 of Faithcast, Brenda speaks to Bishop Denis Nulty, Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin, about how we can #LiveLent 2019 and about a new resource on the Mass that the Diocesan Commission for Liturgical Formation has produced as a focus for parishes for Lent 2019.

The faith news this week features the Our Parish, Our Common Home Laudato Si’ event on 12 April; the theme for the World Day of Migrants and Refugees on 29 September; Bishop Brendan Leahy on Lent 2019 as a time to take stock and make a new start; Pope Francis’ Ash Wednesday homily in which he describes Lent as a wake-up call for the soul; the annual Trócaire/SPCM Maynooth lecture which will be delivered this year by Archbishop Diarmuid Martin on 12 March; and, Archbishop Eamon Martin’s invitation to the faithful to #LiveLent 2019.
